I found out the recently acquired Remington 700 has been converted to 8-40 threads on the receiver base mounts. I tend to use Leupold QR bases, since I move scopes around a good bit. Since I don't have access to much, what are the options to utilize the Leupold scope bases?
Options I'm aware of:
-Warne Maxima M912-873 bases that come with 8-40 screws - nobody has this base in stock
-Brownells has a Remington 700 heavy duty Picatinny base. but this doesn't allow Leupold QR rings
So I really want to use the Leupold scope bases, but anything short of drilling out the holes and counterboring the recess?
